TeamWalk for CancerCare

TeamWalk on Your Terms

Cancer doesn’t go away in a pandemic, and neither does TeamWalk for CancerCare’s commitment to supporting cancer patients in need.

TeamWalk for CancerCare teams walked on their terms again this year, but that didn’t stop them from collectively raising more than $410,000 for cancer patients across the Merrimack Valley, topping last year’s total.

The pandemic forced the walk to go virtual again for the second straight year, but TeamWalk organizers are planning to bring back the annual spring fundraising event to Tsongas Arena on Sunday, May 22, 2022.

Each spring since 2000, TeamWalk for CancerCare has brought together thousands of Merrimack Valley residents to walk the streets of downtown Lowell to raise money and support local cancer patients. Many of these patients are undergoing treatment at Lowell General Hospital's Cancer Center.

The event has come a long way since the first event, which started at Lowell General Hospital's main campus and had hundreds of walkers, not thousands. 

Since its inception in 2000, TeamWalk for CancerCare has raised more than $14 million that has directly helped more than 36,000 patients. TeamWalk funds make a difference by paying for medications, nutritional supplements, wigs, and prostheses, support groups, skilled nursing visits, transportation, mini-grant, and supportive services to patients with all cancer types. 

To sign up for this event next year, visit our website, where you will also find a listing of the many parties, events and fundraisers that take place year-round to raise money for this great cause.
